"Ana" Topi said. "It's not your fault"

"Yeah" Cory said. "It's nobody's, it just happened".

Shawn, who was already holding my hand, interlocked our fingers in a tight grip.

"He seems happy" Topi smiles.

"I mean, as happy as anyone can be who lose their hearing" Cory added.

"Cory!" Shawn shouted.

"But that's not your fault" Topanga sighed, placing a reassuring hand on my knee.

"So when he gets here just.."

"Don't say here" I sigh.

"Okay, when he arrives, just be your angelic self who he seemed to like and ask him about it" Topanga smiled.

"I don't think he liked me he probably just put up with me like the rest of our classmates".

"I know for a fact he liked you in more then one way" Cory said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He's had a crush on you since before you had a crush on me" Shawn said.

"Crushes fade"

"We were friends before you and Shawn started dating, now we're just, acquaintances" Cory said.

I just shrugged and sunk in my seat on the couch then heard a knock on the door.

I hopped up and rushed to get it.

"Hello Peter" I said both verbally and through ASL.

"Hello Ana" he said through ASL.

"I'm so happy you could make it" I signaled.

He looked pass me to Shawn. If looks could kill Shawn would be dead for sure.

"Shawn" I say. "Maybe you should.."

"Fine, but don't.."

"Baby, I would never"

"I guess I'll go now" Shawn sighes, then leaves with Cory.

"So, how have you been?" I asked Peter through ASL.

The rest of the diner went on like that.

Along with me treating him like a fragile little creature.

°°°

"So" Shawn sighed.

"It went well. He said something went very wrong in surgery and that's how it happened".

"See, not your fault".

"But he wouldn't have needed Surgery if it weren't for me".

"Anaisa I will ground you if you blame yourself one more time!" He yelled.

"Okay okay, sheesh" I sigh.
"How would you ground me though?".

"I would... Uh.. Um.. Not kiss you".

"That's just rude".

"Well blaming yourself is rude to yourself and me".

"How?"

"Because you get all emotional and when your emotional your all snotty and I'm suddenly not in the mood"

"I do not get all snotty!"

"You do, its kinda gross"

"Shut up!" I giggle. "And you act like your always in the mood"

"I pretty much am, your just rarely in the mood with me"
